Woxsen University Develops AI-Driven Necrobotic System for High-Precision Robotic Surgery
The innovation incorporates biodegradable, biologically sourced materials—including spider exoskeletons and silk fibers—marking a shift from conventional surgical robotics that rely on synthetic polymers and metals.
Woxsen University’s AI Research Centre has announced the development of an AI-driven bio-induced necrobotic system designed to support robotic-assisted surgeries across critical specialties.
The innovation incorporates biodegradable, biologically sourced materials—including spider exoskeletons and silk fibers—marking a shift from conventional surgical robotics that rely on synthetic polymers and metals.
The system is tailored for procedures requiring high precision and minimal tissue disruption. According to data from the university's internal assessments, it has applications in neurosurgery, ophthalmology, and cardiovascular microsurgeries. Early evaluations indicate a 70% increase in surgical precision and a 50% reduction in tissue trauma.
The necrobotic actuators are designed to degrade post-surgery, reducing both patient-side medical waste and broader environmental impact. The system aligns with global healthcare goals targeting sustainable and carbon-neutral practices.
Telesurgery and Real-Time AI Control Enhance Access and Safety
In addition to its biodegradable design, the system supports AI-powered telesurgery. Surgeons can remotely operate in underserved regions using real-time imaging and adaptive machine learning. The platform addresses latency, surgical accuracy, and procedural risk through predictive modelling and AI-correction protocols.
The AI algorithms allow for real-time adjustments in motion and force, responding dynamically to intraoperative feedback. A manual override ensures surgeons maintain direct control when needed, preserving decision-making during critical procedures.
Collaborations are underway between Woxsen University and multiple hospitals to test the necrobotic system in clinical environments. These pilot programs aim to assess safety, biocompatibility, and overall system performance to support upcoming regulatory submissions.
Dr. Hemachandran K, Director of the AI Research Centre at Woxsen University, stated, “At Woxsen, we are building the future of surgery—where sustainability, artificial intelligence, and human expertise converge to redefine patient care. This system is more than a technological milestone; it’s a vision of how healthcare can evolve responsibly and equitably.”
To meet anticipated demand for upskilling, Woxsen University will also roll out a certification programme in AI-Driven Surgical Robotics.
The course includes virtual simulations, hands-on workshops, and mentoring in partnership with hospitals, intended to train medical professionals in AI-integrated, sustainable surgical procedures.
